Shaykh al-’Allāmah Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmi (d. 1416 rahimahullāh) stated:
“I advise the youth who have not yet matured (in their Islamic knowledge and understanding), that they refrain from disputing with the Sufīs and the Ash’arīs, because if you dispute with them and they expose their doubts upon you and you are overwhelmed/defeated (and lost for words), this is regarded as a defeat for the Salafīs.”
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah [The Most High] said:
[وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً – And magnify Him (i.e. Allaah) with all the magnificence, [Allahu-Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)]. [17:111]
Imaam Ibn Jareer [rahimahullaah] stated that the above verse means: ”And exalt your Lord O Muhammad by way of what He has commanded you to exalt Him with- in speech and deeds. Obey Him in what He has commanded you [i.e. by fulfilling it] and in what He has forbidden you [i.e. by keeping away from it]. [Ref 1]
Imaam Muhammad Al-Ameen Ash-Shanqeetee [rahimahullaah] stated that the above verse means: Exalt [Allaah] with a powerful exaltation. Manifest the greatness of Allah (by) strictly guarding what He has commanded and keeping away from what He has forbidden, and hasten towards everything that pleases Him, and this is similar to another statement of Allaah: [لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ -That you may magnify Allah for His Guidance to you]. [Ref 2] [End of quotes]
The above explanations are that of the rightly guided scholars- those known for their sound knowledge of the Islamic creed. Exalting Allaah with [Allaahu Akbar – Allaah is the Greatest] is utilised in obedience to Allaah and not in disobedience. As for the terrorists [savages], they utilise this statement, whilst committing evil and destruction. Therefore, we hope that this affair is clarified for those non-Muslims who genuinely misunderstood this concept. Here are a few links to demonstrate the fact that Islaam is free from the evil and murderous activities of the misguided terrorists.
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
All praise is due to Allaah. The Salafiyyoon are serious people and they do not entertain the foolishness of any caller to deviation. Some misguided young fools have adopted a methodology for themselves related to debate – arguing, speculating, jesting and causing confusion- yet they seek to attribute this foolishness of theirs to knowledge and the way of the Salaf.
Indeed, a serious person who truly desires insight into affairs of knowledge should neither enter into what he is not worthy of nor should he approach any affair of the religion based on ignorance. Therefore, we remind ourselves and our younger brothers and sisters that time is precious and short, so let us spend it in what will increase us in sound understanding and righteous deeds.
As this subject matter regarding debate is one that some have entered into due to ignorance and short-sightedness, we remind ourselves and our younger brothers and sisters that we educate ourselves on this subject matter if possible – not for the purpose of debating, rather we learn based on proof and insight in order to safeguard ourselves from the methodology of those foolish ones.
Here are a series of lectures by Ustaadh Abu Hakeem (may Allaah preserve him) regarding the principles of debate. So exercise patience upon seeking after a sound understanding –InShaaAllaah- based on these tremendous series of lectures if you have extra time besides the regular lessons attended in the Salafi Masaajid and Centres. We ask Allaah for beneficial knowledge and righteous actions. Aameen
“Do not be jealous of the one who has memorised more than you or is more knowledgeable than you or is more beneficial to the slaves (of Allāh) than you, rather be happy that someone is establishing the rights of Allāh (عز وجل) and the rights of the slaves.”

قال الشيخ صالح آل الشيخ حفظه الله تعالى : 📒
« لا تحسد من هو أحفظ منك، أو أعلم منك، أو أنفع للعباد منك، بل افرح أن يقوم قائم بحق الله عز وجل وحق العباد ».
Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madhkhalee (rahimahullah) said:
“The greatest act of good (towards parents) is that the son whom Allaah has bestowed upon him with some (Islamic) knowledge, that from it, he offers (teaches) it to his parents as a first priority.
And this is better than being good to them by giving them money or anything other than that.
Then (it follows that) he should be good and dutiful to them with good words and good actions which pleases Allaah, then with that which pleases both of them (Parents).
Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:
And the best thing that a father can give and present to his
son is teaching him Islamic knowledge and to connect him with the teachings of Islam and also to take care of him in this great affair, Along with safeguarding his body and his character, morals and manners. And his care is one that should be complete (in every way) and he (the father) is rewarded for it.
Therefore, what great reward will he have with Allaah the Blessed and the Most High.
And the female child is the same as the male child in regards to the care required from both parents. And this is with regards to the father. As for the mother, then her reward is also according to the good she does for her son and daughter.

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:
“Knowledge is priceless, and its seeker has undoubtedly known its value, and he has given his utmost effort for him to become a patient and forbearing teacher, because he is an inheritor (of knowledge) from the inheritors of the Noble Prophet (upon him be the salaah and salaam).”

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:
“And People are not exactly similar, the reality is that ignorance is like (different levels of) darknesses, and ignorance is from the greatest calamity and trial, especially when Allaah grants and favours you with an opportunity in your life for you to learn (Islamic knowledge), you instead spend your entire lifetime in enjoying your worldly physical existence, this is what (true and great) loss is.”
‘Awn Al Ahad As Samad Sharh Adabul Mufrad 28/1 – Shaykh Zayd Bin Haadi
Shaykh Zayd ibn Haadi Al Madkhalee (Rahimahullah) said:
Indeed the people are commanded to follow (evidences) and they are prohibited from innovating (in the religion), since they are not allowed except to hold firm to the text and evidences from the Quraan and Sunnah, upon the understanding of the predecessors of this Ummah and those who walked upon their way step by step (exactly without any change).
And there is no allowable pathway to divert away from this to the statements of the people of innovation and misguidances and the people of opposing opinions to the correct Islamic belief and his upright and sound methodology.
